Had A Humans Are Space Orcs Thought

I think one of DC's biggest mistakes is the fact that Billy Batson, Jon Kent, and Damian Wayne aren't an established trio

I refuse to believe these three didn't meet each other and immediately agree to start causing problems on purpose

Damian's an ex assassin, son of Batman, and the heir to the biggest crime ring in the world, who hates himself, but also believes he's the best person alive

Jon is Superman's son, and has somehow managed to convince everyone he's a Good Boy™ when his best friend is Ra's al Ghul's grandson

And Billy's a teenage boy who has/is tricking the Justice League into letting him stay on their team because he can make himself look like an Adult Man™

These three should be committing felonies together DC

Please, PLEASE expand on the Kafei being Terminan (?) Link idea. I have already drawn fanart of it--

Ravio, Kafei, and Link are all part of a matched set; each of them possesses the spirit of courage that rests within their world, whether or not they realize it.

Ravio, we've already been shown, mirrors Link in his origins.

In A Link Between Worlds, he serves as Lorule's hero, under its princess. He collects items across the world in the hopes of aiding Hyrule's hero (for a price, of course. Loruleans need to secure their own safety before others), and he refuses to betray the trust of innocent people for his own gain.

The main difference between Ravio and Link is the Lolian's personality.

While Link is usually quiet and reserved, Ravio is loud, outgoing, and...brutally honest about himself. He admits that he's a coward, that he's not cut out to be a hero like Link is. A stark difference, but one we most often attribute to Lorule's sorry state rather than to a fault of Ravio's. After all, we've seen Thieves' Town; we know how bad the world he lives in can change a person.

But why is this important for dear Kafei?

Because Kafei mirrors the opposite part of Link. He has a different origin, but the same personality and knack for dungeons.

Allow me to explain.

When we first meet Kafei, he's—according to Anju—been missing for a month, Skull Kid having cursed him to revert back to when he was younger (Terminian time exists somewhat outside of Hyrulean; we've got enough headaches with the extended timeline as it is without adding to the mix).

Already, we see an eerie parallel to Ocarina of Time. A force of good sealed Link away for seven years, while a force of evil clocked back Kafei for his own seven.

On top of that, Kafei here wears the Keaton mask, which we later receive from the guy he's been boarding with. The Keaton mask is the very first mask you get in Ocarina of Time, from the Happy Mask Salesman’s doppelganger.

Our next hint at their connection comes from their faces. Kafei's face, when revealed, looks strikingly like Link's adult face.

The biggest differences, apart from color palette, are that Kafei's hair is wilder and his eyebrow shape is inverted from Link's. But even if we consider the colors...we get some interesting results.

It's impossible to get real gold with the weird highlights Kafei's hair has, but if we focus on the darker parts, changing them to gold turns Link's hair bluish purple, while nearly perfectly inverting the two's eye colors and tunics. They have a tweaked palette inversion, with the exception of their skin tone.

And then we have the true show of Kafei's claim to heroism in his quest.

We chase Kafei into Satou's hideout, where the Sun Mask he wants to exchange with Anju lies.

He steps on a pressure plate as he tries to get it back, and the security measures Satou left behind take effect. But Kafei doesn't panic—he starts ordering Link around.

He knows puzzles. He knows exactly how these work, despite their being a product of Majora's influence.

Not only that, but we get to control him. For a brief moment in the game, he is the hero, with the same movements and techniques that Link has.

He even does the same victory pose when achieving his goal.

But the final thing, the one that sealed his role in for me, was his reaction to the end of the world.

The moon is falling.

Clock Town is crumbling around them.

And yet Kafei runs home to Anju, despite his curse, despite the fear everyone else has.

He says his wedding vows, which, to his knowledge, will be his last act living, wanting to spend his final moments with the woman he loves.

He invites Link, who is surely doomed too, to seek refuge in the comfort of his and Anju’s home. A small thank you for fulfilling his last wishes.

And he faces certain death bravely.

Because the people he cares about

Are worth more to him

Than securing his own safety alone.

Kafei shows courage when it comes to looking after those he loves.

It’s no wonder Majora wanted to get him out of the way quickly.

you guys got taught this?!??? All I ever learned to do was convert Celsius into Fahrenheit and that was in math??

“It’s safe to approach?” Bruce asked, gesturing to the pentagram and its teenage ghost resident.

“Yep” Constantine turned his back on the pentagram he’d drawn and cleared his throat, “Uh yes, sorry. It’s triple layered, so he couldn’t do anything even if he wanted-“

Bruce could only watch as Clark shot forward, only he was too late to stop the projectile that pegged the occult detective in the back of the head.

“Ow! The fuck was that!”

The object rolled to a stop, revealing itself to be a single black and white converse. Bruce’s gaze snapped to the spiritual prison, only to find its resident sprawled out lazily on the floor with a wide grin and a mysteriously missing a left shoe.

You've been cast into a fictional setting, and you don't get to pick your genre. This wheel picks it for you.
